      Our Car Moron told us that staying in the EU would prevent immigrants getting in here .
      Well its not working.
      My message to him is, its time to get out of this ‘manufactured Union State’ and get our armed forces to do the job they are paid for – to defend this nation form invasion .
      What on earth is our Home Secretary doing about this ? Where is our Tory Cabinet ? Why aren’t the grass roots Tory voters pressing their MPs about this ?

      To these reverend blue jeans types, politics IS their chosen religion!
      Being a Lefty takes priority over any belief in God. let alone their nominal choice of the person of Jesus Christ…might as well have been Brian Cohen.
      Which is why only state subsidy and the JCB that piles old bishops into the Lords keeps them in the BBC Green Room bubble…nobody out here gives a stuff what the Christian AIDS say or do any more….Trump knows more about the Bible than the Pope, and Welby might as well be Elton Welsby as far as we`re concerned.

        Chris and Taffman – I am afraid the likes of Welby perfectly illustrates the the lefty stance of compassion without common sense.

        I am afraid all these intellectually types would rather sell their country down the river in the long term for a five minute warm glow in their well fed tummies. Rather than deal with real issues in a practical way. However all that compassion rarely seems to extend to christian refugees, whose persecution is just not “sexy enough” to be mentioned.

        I suspect that Welby has far more in common and feels more more home with the likes of Eddie Jizzard or Simon Smarma than he ever would with a normal member of his own congregation. Despite the fact that in all probability many lefties are generally hostile to The C of E.

        Welby may well have now twigged that he may have ignored the “bleedin obvious” regarding many peoples view on immigration and like many politicians he is now trying to look both ways at once.

        As I have said in previous posts it is educated idiots like Welby who have helped to make the C of E increasingly irrelevant to society. They say charity begins at home its a pity that they never taught this at theological college.

        You may want to turn the other cheek but that does not mean you have to to turn your wife and daughter over too!

      Funny that EU ministers and their cohorts were adamant that they could concede nothing – and I do mean ‘nothing’, Mr Cameron – to the UK during negotiations just a few months ago, in order to save the EU from such devastation. After all, any EU Ministers and Senior Civil Servants, of any repute whatsoever, must have known then that this would be the result of any Brexit.

      Alternatively, I wonder what has happened to leave the EU in such a parlous state in just a few short weeks….?

      A reality check, perhaps ?

      Is that a Gideon guarantee that should the UK remain in the EU there will be no further austerity measures or public spending cuts? and if so can we have it in writing. It’s looking increasingly likely that no matter what the result of the referendum we won’t be allowed to leave, too many snouts gorging out of too many troughs.

          Well, I’m going to disagree with folk here lambasting Justin Welby. As Archbishop he is entitled to express a view on matters of national importance such as this. It’s his job. No doubt, if he had said “I’m voting Leave.” you would all be cheering him to the rafters. (That’s the building rafters, not the ‘other’ sort . . . 😉 but then, again . . . . ? )

          Not only that, our arch-enemy (if that is not too strong an expression to describe a section of the media) is the first to complain when the Archbish doesn’t pronounce on matters of social & political importance and completely ignores or partially misreports what he says when doing the main part of his day job: preaching the Gospel.

          Seeing as all the world and his dog has expressed a view on the EU Referendum, whether entitled to or not, Welby may as well do so. At least, as the BBC has reported it, he is not telling the Anglican communion how to vote from the pulpit. Now that, in my view, would have been wrong.

          Still, am disappointed that he’s not voting leave, but there you go.

          As to Christian ‘lefties’, etc., etc., also rubbished often by our favourite broadcaster along with their counterparts elsewhere on the spectrum of Christian political thought & beliefs, they are the ones who often (always?) go around putting sticking plasters and a whole lot more on the wounded of society who our politicians, notably those led by Corbyn & Sturgeon and to an extent those led by Cameron, have been happy to neglect or abandon.

              Sorry, Grant, think you are technically wrong there. Archbishop – the Canterbury one – has state constitooootionally role that goes beyond the faith & ministry one. The knee joint or some claimed bit (Snuffy’s eyeballs rolled & raised heavenward) of a troublesome priest that has just been returned to Canterbury from Eastern Europe (Snuffy’s eyeballs rolled even more & raised to altitudes occupied by transcontinental passenger aircraft – good grief! they’ll be selling indulgences next!) is a recent reminder of the importance of the position.

              Not only that, he doesn’t have to stand for Parliament. He’s there already, mate! Gratis, ex-officio an’ all that.

            Snuff I agree that Welby is entitled to express his view and in fact I have no objection to him using his position to do so. He has the same rights as any other national figure.

            However I still think the C of E should as well as expressing compassion for those in other countries should at least have some regard for our own culture and certainly christians being persecuted in other countries as well as muslims.

            My reservations about Welby revolve around the fact that to me he seems more concerned with being generous with”Asylum seekers” – many who are plainly not! (see his new year message) than to the fact that many Christians in Syria etc have not had the opportunity to be asylum seekers as they are now simply dead.

            I do at the very least think he has been a little naive and the very worst for his own reasons jumped onto the same lefty Compassion bandwagon as soon as he could in case he got left behind.

            I certainly do not consider him an odious individual like Dave or Tony and I do acknowledge that he has mentioned the fact that Christians are being persecuted worldwide – however I would like to have seen him more supportive of those we share a common religion/culture with, as well as those from other religions many of whom are actively hostile towards us.

              Good post, oaknash, and agree about the persecuted Christians. I am amazed that Britain did not quickly offer Syrian Christians refugee status here. We now know, statistics released just over a week ago, that Britain is de-Christianising at a fast rate.

              We do not know what has been done behind the scenes though. Much diplomacy has to be quiet diplomacy. I heard retired Bishop Michael Nazr-Ali speak, on BBC Radio4, on the subject of persecuted Christians worldwide. Mind you, the global community as a whole appears to have a total blind spot concerning Syria as well as some very blinkered views. However, your post highlights the failure of the media in relation to Christianity especially. Think the last time they did any big work in that area was the mid-1990s and the Toronto Blessing thing.

              To be fair to the Beeb, they have given the ‘Bishop of Baghdad’, Canon Andrew White, plenty of recent coverage and they did mention a couple of Welby’s trips to visit persecuted Christian refugees. (Have a notion that he did quite a bit of that, including some hostage negotiating in (west?) Africa before reaching his current appointment. I’ll leave you to research via BBC’s R4 Desert Island Discs archive before it goes behind a pay-wall.)

              It was Welby’s predecessor who made the comments about Sharia Law, which in my view, brought the position of Archbishop of Canterbury into disrepute. The Beeb covered that. However, if Justin Welby made a statement about bringing Syrian (or Iraqi) Christians here, would the BBC give it much prominence? Too worried about Salford friends, perhaps?

            The BBC is a leftist organisation, and therefore it cannot see any enemies on the left. If a Republican had done a tenth of what Hillary had done, the BBC would rightly castigate them for it. But Hillary is untouchable because she is on the left.

            That is why the BBC is an untrustworthy organisation, and should be wound up. I assure you, the world would not stop spinning on its axis if the men, women and undecideds of W1A and Media City had to earn an honest living.

      It really is quite simple, thoughtful. The BBC reflects American Main Stream Media (MSM) outlets – i.e. MSNBC, ABC, CBS et al, and completely ignores virtually anything coming from the likes of Fox News on cable TV.

      I’ve just spent 6 weeks or so in the US, and regularly ploughed my way through American MSM trying to find a modicum of reality about the US election – completely without success, I should add.

      I tend to agree with another poster on this thread, up2snuff, who states that he believes that Americans are stuffed for choice in this election. In my opinion, Mr Trump is a loose cannon, and provides ammunition for his enemies far too freely – if he would stick to a sensible script, without compromising on his beliefs, instead of ad-libbing himself into corners, he should really have not much problem being elected – but he won’t. US voters are ripe for a non-establishment president, but Mr Trump does himself some huge damage, unnecessarily.

      On the other hand, Ms Clinton hasn’t actually allowed any questioning by reporters (at least no questions from anyone but sycophants) in more than 6 months, and gets a ‘ hall pass’ from US MSM, on almost every topic – they simply focus on what she’s saying about Donald Trump, and repeat it, debate it, de-construct it, and re-construct it endlessly, and unquestioningly. And she is no shining example of rectitude, and truly unworthy of the highest post in her land – she does, however, have MSM USA eating out of her hand.

      The answer to the point you really pose, however, (‘How long can the BBC keep up its fawning ?’) is that as long as the US MSM keeps on ignoring any and all evidence that comes out about Hillary Clinton, her history, her faults, her lack of scrutiny, her lack of policies different to those of Mr Obama, then the BBC can bask in its hatred of Mr Trump and anything to the right of Bernie Sanders (another presidentiial hopeful for the Democratic Party (an outright Socialist, with Communist tendencies), which the democratic Party Establishment has done its best to bury – along with the US MSM, in order to promote Saint Hillary.

      And MSM USA has no intention of diverting from its objective of ignoring any negative points which may get in the way of getting Ms Clinton elected. It is completely breathtaking what can be completely ignored by MSM USA. So the BBC feels no need to focus on anything but knocking Me Trump.

          Oooooh – MOCO – you were obviously trying to find any of my posts last night to have a pop at them. As I said, I have just spent 6 weeks in the States and I’ve observed the issues I talked about first hand – and your recent wealth of experience of US mainstream media is…..?

          Once again, your hard-of-thinking shines through. I was not taking Fox News as a yardstick – rather I was pointing out that the yardstick in of the mainstream media in the US is, almost without exception, to give Hillary Clinton a free pass on any subject, whilst allowing her free rein to attack her opponents. Never mind, as I’ve said elsewhere, you just might be able to catch up one of these days.

          As for the BBC – I have no idea what they’ve been up to on this specific topic over the past few weeks…. but I’d bet they have not been examining and exposing Ms Clinton’s actions/failures/potential crimes with any great alacrity – their adulation in the past would point in that direction.

      The PM did not do himself or his campaign any good today on the Marr show. He spouted the usual abstract scare stuff but I thought it was noticeable that he did it in a very quiet “calm down, dear” voice. This change of presentation on his part came across as patronising. I thought I heard DC say he had made a rule for himself not to do personal attacks in the next 10 days. But I did not find it convincing; and did I detect Marr say, words to the effect…”no, but you just send out Amber Rudd to do it instead!”

      The scare story of the day is aimed at pensioners and the defence of our country! Outrageous!! Marr even said at one point… “ people’s eyes begin to glaze over when they hear these stories.”

      Contrast the “new” Cameron with the dedicated passion of Nigel, albeit maintaining the calm presentation of the Brexiteers which showed through in the ITV debate. I thought Nigel did well. There is no doubt the Leave campaign has a very positive story to tell whereas the remainers do not.

          Unfortunately the realities of uncontrolled Europe and uncontrolled immigration are pretty negative but it is obvious that all this can be managed without the Cameroons Armageddon .

        Cameron is quite right to point out that if the economy dips or even tanks , the desirablilty to manage current account expenditure means that cuts will have to be made. Since the Tories have relentlessly cut most other budgets to the bone it necessarily falls on the cosseted pensioners who take the majority of social welfare to take a hit. Why is it wrong to spell that out. Many of you on this site voted for this party.

      Agreed, Grant. It’s also bizarre in that Cameron (with Osborne’s help) seems to do everything he can to get everyone to vote for a Corbyn-led Labour Party. He did it with Miliband in charge of Labour. That’s even more bizarre!

      Deranged? Don’t know for sure but I’m wondering again – think I’ve mentioned it before on the B-BBC web-site – that maybe we are seeing the effects in our political representatives (and people in other walks of life, too) of the use of alcohol and/or drugs in their teens and twenties. That stuff can do serious damage to parts of the brain that may not manifest itself until sometime later. Then there’s the effects of ageing, not so much in the case of Cameron & Osborne as they are relatively young, but certainly many other political leaders and there you get back to Hilary Clinton and Donald Trump. I can think of one or two prominent British politicians where I’ve wondered about the onset of early dementia.

    BBC – “Mr Osborne said Brexit would mean “a new dose of austerity, more years of public spending cuts”.
    BBC – Blair/Major Brexit could split UK, (could? … that’s the Tory aim isn t it, short termism keep themselves in power, f-ck everything and everyone else … why any surprise?)

    it is literally astounding that this incompetent, clueless, dangerously deluded silver spoon Osborne is even still allowed
    to mention economics, and the traitor, debate dodging Dave is not up for treason.
    Even by the Tories own low and inept bar of economic competency, Gideon is an absolute disaster.

    Watching The Trooping of the Colour yesterday – which by the way if you have never been to see it is a great day out – I heard the commentator say words to the effect as The Guards marched down The Mall: ‘Makes you feel proud to be British doesn’t it?’. It certainly does make me very proud to be British. I don’t know who it was who said it but he plainly hasn’t been receiving the memos, and I expect his BBC career won’t be lasting very long!

    The BBC’s love for crooked, treacherous Hillary, who has enriched herself at the expense of the American people, reminded me of the BBC’s hatred for another American woman, Sarah Palin. She had hardly spent ten minutes as John McCain’s nominee for Vice-President when Newsnight went after her with a hatchet. Why? Because not only was she in the opposing camp to their beloved Obama, but she was a born-again, pro-life Christian and the combination was just too much for the BBC to take. And as it became clear that she was also confident and outspoken, the BBC’s hatred only intensified.

    Sarah Palin would never spout PeeCee clichés like Clinton does to keep the masses happy and neither would she pretend to believe in all the ‘correct’ causes, as Clinton does. Here she is at the beginning of the San Diego Trump rally:

    And at 1:40 minutes in, in the course of contrasting Trump with the treacherous Obama, she has this to say:

    I want a president who says….hey, you mess with the innocent, you pick a fight with America, you steal our security, you spit on our freedom, we’ll put a boot in your ass – it’s the American way!

    Dunno how long she spoke for because the clip begins after she’s started to speak, but there are five enthusiastic minutes of it – quite relevant to the EU referendum because she speaks of national pride and sovereignty.

    I really like and appreciate Sarah Palin – perhaps even a touch more than I would if the BBC didn’t loathe her so much.

      I wanted Sarah to run this time but realize that the media has enough power to defeat her. I see her as a future President and was concerned when she endorsed Trump because at the time I thought they would sink. I wrote asking her to back off but her daughter informed me that she had already decided. Perhaps in eight years, with the media taught a lesson by Trump – and after a period in Trump’s administration – she will run.

      The BBC hate Sarah and distort everything about her, milking the remarks by Tina Fey – not Sarah – about seeing Russia from her home. And of course, accusing her of racism, as all Trot outfits do.

      I don’t think people over here realize just how sharp Sarah is, and with a place in Trump’s administration – hopefully energy – the message will get across. She can be tough and unafraid; she put the FBI on the ‘Corrupt Bastards Club in Alaska when she became Governor and joked about them having to wear orange jump suits. Remember the private plane the previous governor had; she sold it on E Bay putting the money into the public domain.
      On a personal note. Her cousin heads a good rock band consisting of veterans. I have used his music on some of my You Tube vids which he appreciates.

      The BBC’s role in denigrating Sarah Palin was a disgrace and were it the sole evidence of the Corporation’s biased news reporting, it would still be a monumental one.

      People I meet in the UK know absolutely nothing about this exceptional woman, other than the lies, distortions and smears they have heard from BBC chat show hosts and ‘comedians’ . If you start to probe or challenge their empty opinions, you can see in their eyes the growing panic of someone who realises his or her opinions are based on a complete lack of knowledge and are about to collapse.

      I’m not a fan of Trump who is, in many respects, a squishy liberal and part of the ‘elite’ he affects to bring down, but if he serves to bring Mrs Palin back into frontline politics, then he will have done the USA and the world a great service.

      Sarah Palin was an effective Governor of Alaska, where she fought the vested interests. In the end, it did for her. Hillary Clinton has never met a vested interest she didn’t like, as long as she gets her quarter million dollar “speaking fee”, which you or I would call a thinly disguised bribe.

      Hillary Clinton is a corrupt, machine politician, who is allowed to operate because she favours the causes of the left liberal intelligentsia. So long as you are in favour of abortion and gun control, you get a free pass for all crimes and corruption from the American media. And the BBC, of course.

    Phew the BBC has finally explained why the populist Marxist government is so unpopular in Venezuela. I thought people were rioting and demanding an election because of the way Chavez, with his family and friends, stole everything that could be grabbed, including farms and factories and then incompetently ran them into the ground. This has led to inept government, empty shops, little food, no medicine and a country on the brink of economic collapse.

    But no, here is what the BBC says: “Venezuela is in a serious economic crisis, which the opposition blames on mistaken left-wing policies of Mr Maduro and his predecessor, the late Hugo Chavez.”

    Ah, so it was only the ‘mistaken left-wing policies’ that were the problem. Phew, so that will be easily corrected with the correct ‘left-wing policies’. I can’t wait for the UK to experience the correct left-wing policies of Venezuela.

    So if we vote Leave (Brexit) other countries in the EU will follow and cause an European Union Break Up. (EUBU) and the inevitable death of the catastrophic Euro. Or at least so some of the frightened members of the EU are now saying.

    What a turn around. They really are saying that they will not survive without the UK! But I am being told we cannot survive without them by Cameron’s Remain bogymen. So which is it, or is it both? The fact is we can all survive on our own, or at least trade and live by our own laws as we have done for hundreds of years.

    And the consequences of that are?

    The Greeks will revert to the Drachma, the French to the Franc and the Germans to the Deutschmark etc, etc.

    So we will have to change our pounds to the currency of whatever country we are going to in Europe. But we have to change £’s to another currency anyway, the Euro. So only if visiting more than one country does that become a hassle.

    Those countries that need to can revalue (Greece in particular) and then get on with rebuilding their economies and we can get on with trade with them and everyone else in the world without hindrance. We will once again get cheap holidays in the sun with friendly people who are not being starved to death by the IMF, led by the sinister Madame Lagarde, and Germany’s mad Merkel.

    Will this lead to Cameron’s WW3? Why should it? Just because countries manage their own affairs and economies does not mean we will start to fight them. We don’t expect a war with Japan or India or China just because we are not in a trading union with them. Cameron is turning the truth inside out to save his job. The man is a charlatan of the worst kind and oh boy have we had some crazy charlatans in that job.

    Then, once Obama has left the building we can stabilise relations with Russia too. As for the Middle East, once again, after the White House nightmare has gone and USA cash and weapons have stopped being supplied to ‘friendly rebels’ then there might be some hope of peace there. Though I doubt it if Clinton gets in. She is bought and paid for by big business. And the biggest business in the USA is weapons. Let’s hope Trump comes up trumps .

    Basically Brexit and Obexit will save the planet.

    Oh dear, I forgot to mention the BBC. Can we hope for BBCexit too? I’m sure that the £4/5 Billion spent by the elite darlings would be better spent on nurses and saving our children from the epidemic of nasty invaders.

    Enjoy the party today Your Majesty.

      Yes agree with Lock, good post OT.

      I have found what I have heard at times – courtesy of (biased?!) BBC R4 – from the Leave campaign disappointing.

      Years ago, when the Single Currency was first mooted, not long after the UK, Ireland & Denmark joined The Six, it was fairly obvious that there would be weak links in the economic chain. Back then, Italy was the prime candidate for that spot. The point is made by economists that national currencies provide elasticity for national economies. If you add the fudged, nay even fraudulent, convergence criteria compliance by some States joining the Euro when it was formed, it was and still is a recipe for failure.

      This point has not been hammered home by the Leave campaign. It should be along with the tax requirements of the EU (the Leave camp have made a right mess of that) and Steve Hilton’s point about the difficulty of governance within the EU.

      There’s still time. I’m hoping that after the past week of increasingly wild & nasty statements from pro-Remain that the Leave campaign will really raise their game to a higher level and nail them on foundational economic & governance issues.

    Rather than get off their arses and try and do some real journalism and establish some facts they instead quote from Facebook/Twitter using their heavily promoted Apple iPads.

    BBC 5Live Nolan last night. He interviews a Northern Ireland football fan currently in Nice where there were groups of Poles and N.Irelanders drinking together with no apparent problems. That is until they were attacked by a 50 strong mob of local men clad entirely in black who were according to the fan chanting “Isis” and “Anti-White European” slogans. So not your usual football hooligans then. Credit to Nolan, he asked the fan to repeat what he had heard.

    This morning on 5Live news headlines we hear the trouble in Nice had been between N.Ireland fans and local football fans. And in this news article today http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-36509843 we hear that

    “There were also clashes in the city of Nice between police and fans from Northern Ireland and Poland, who are due to play their opening match later. Six people were reportedly injured, before order was restored.”

    Come on BBC. Get your fact straights. Who was causing the trouble in Nice? Northern Irish, Poles or local fans? And can you tell us whether or not it had anything at all to do with Islam?

    Follow on from Thoughtful 10th June.
    Whether Britain Votes to stay or leave the European Union, the whole of Europe faces a far more serious and dangerous issue-there are reported to be 52+ Million Muslims now residing within Europe and increasing each week that passes. What is taking place in Europe and in the wider English-speaking world is a classic evolutionary struggle for the survival of those fittest to adapt to and overcome the new challenges presented by massive Third World and, above all, Muslim, immigration.
    Clearly the Muslims directly threaten our continued existence as nations, democracies, politics, cultures, civilizations and practitioners of the Christian religion. Still going on in the 20th century is Muslim piracy that has been taking place off the coast of Somalia. As always, no defensive or offensive actions are taken by the pathetically feeble Western powers. Just like the Byzantine Empire, all our civilisation, culture and religion are due to vanish as though they had never been and all because not one single person has dared to take their head out of the sand and vigorously fight back. Our descendants, if any, will curse us.
    But this is a harsh reality and we’d better wake up to it pretty smartly or we are finished. Our culture, civilisation and very existence will be annihilated for ever if we don’t now begin to fight the disease of the European body politic and democracy that is Islam.
    How often do we see Muslim ‘honour’ (how’s that for newspeak?) killings, Muslim female genital mutilation, Muslim forced marriages, Muslim women forced, on pain of death, to cover their entire faces and bodies with black tent-like clothing, Muslim wife-beating, Muslims attacking and sometimes murdering homosexuals, Muslims passing white girls around to each other for sex, Muslims insulting our armed forces and even The Queen and proclaiming that they will soon have complete political power over us and our country and enforce Sharia law, how often are these well-known subjects, spoken about in the press, or aired on the media or in plays and films? Never:
    Third World immigrants now man the passport desks in airports, closely scrutinise our passports and graciously permit us to re-enter our own countries. They present the news on the television and the radio, and, unbelievably, they run the immigration offices! Just as incredibly, Muslims are employed as luggage handlers in our airports! Minorities are much less likely to be reprimanded or arrested than the indigenous population because of the fear of being accused of being a racist or being guilty of religious hatred. In spite of this the prisons are awash with them.

      tarien,
      A sad but accurate prediction. But fully aware of the treatment of women bear in mind that women have been more welcoming to the Muslim migrants than men. Whilst anti Moslem movements like the EDL primarily consist of men, women appear in large numbers on pro migrant demonstrations, and strident feminists will cut your balls off if you criticize Moslems, and the standard feminist line of Rotherham rapes is that they are done by men, whilst media feminists assert the right of women to wear the Burka. Merkel and May are women who bend over backwards in favour of Muslim immigration and retaining Muslim criminals rather than deporting them.

      The idea of a biological explanation for female support for the invaders is echoed in Paul Molyneux’s remark that ‘Women spread their legs for the invaders’. Western males have lost their spirit. Females give themselves to the strongest. Moslem males know how to deal with women, keep them in their place, and fill them with offspring.

The simple aim of the ideology of Islam is to destroy the Christian West & the USA if they can. On and off for nigh on 1300yrs Islam has been trying to control much of Europe, but back in those times we could use weapons against them, now they need not even draw a sword, as their despotic ideolgy rips through the nations of Europe, and in no way is that an exaggeration. Just keep your women locked that means no more shopping for them!! Why are we humans wanting to destroy this beautiful world? Perhaps the Devil has always been amongst us.

Simon McCoy even managed to grab a party goer in the Mall and compliment her on her outfit then asked which charity she was with – Priceless ! she was Polish, spoke in broken English and said she was there with her English boyfriend – nothing about the charity, huh ! so much for her Maj’s patriotic workers !!

    Only on the BBC.
    On Pienaar’s politics today, Tom Watson, (think it was he), spoke of the ‘Tory Brexit.’ Oddly no one interrupted or corrected him.

    So, do the BBC think that John Mann, Dennis Skinner, Tony Benn, et al, are or were Tories?

    Do the BBC not know that more Tory MPs have declared for Remain?
    http://order-order.com/2016/06/10/three-more-mps-declare-for-leave/

    Do the BBC not know that most working class people want their country, jobs, houses, schools and hospitals back? …………….erm …………… Oh, no, of course not.

    When was the last time a BBC producer met someone from the low paid classes of this country? BBC producers can now have their menial jobs performed by low price Poles, Romanians and others not born here. They don’t have to bother with the working classes.

      Now there’s a surprise, Lobster.

      I posted earlier that the scum at Sky news said it ‘was reported to be a white supremacist’ because Christine Grimmie was killed by a white loony close to this attack?

      The KGBbc news simply reported the attack as a ‘domestic attack’? Can’t bring themselves to mention the word ‘terror’.

      The FBI said the perp ‘had leanings towards islamic terrorism teachings’? Does that mean he was a terrorist then? Was he just practising at being a terrorist? Was it a ‘lone wolf’ attack?

      The gays..just like the young white women of Europe..an acceptable form of collateral damage in the pursuit of opening our eyes to nazislam.

    Can’t wait to play Al Beebs “its nothing to do with lslam” bingo!

    Guaranteed are..
    “lone wolf”
    “extremist views that have nothing to do with lslam”
    “community in solidarity”

    Also looking forward to..

    – Articles that ‘try’ and talk about ‘facts’ and “what happened?” yet never tell it’s viewers the only detail that’s required which is Islam instructs the believer’s to kill homosexuals.

    – Reports that are utterly created to propagate that this is nothing to do with lslam, yet, look for any (completely unrelated) link that a Muslim was the hero of the event ” Muslim hero Abdullah was across the street when it happened… He was helping the police, like all Muslims do because they are peaceful, with supplying drinks and is a hero saving lives..”

    – LGBT groups will come out in solidarity with the death cult telling us “its society that has caused this… We are all responsible because we all hate gays”

    All reports will yet again purposely not link the the endless Islamic acts, so that this is once again just a isolated event. So linking or reference to other Islamic acts will never be mentioned because Islam must be presented as the victim. Muslims are the real victims here and aren’t we going to hear all about it from the lying, islamophilic, British hating bastards at the Al Beed!

              Pakistan is not the kind of place that most people would associate with gay liberation. But some say the country is a great place to be gay – even describing the port city of Karachi as “a gay man’s paradise”.

                    I don’t believe that any one on this site is pleased about it, in fact I would suggest that we are angered that nothing is done about preventing it. The media in general do not face up to the facts but merely try make excuses about it all the time . They are apologists. “Mateen’s father, born in Afghanistan, says his son was angered at seeing two men kissing.”
                    Note how we hear the term for the killer is now “shooter”.

                  I’m not “pleased with what has happened” but I did see it coming as did many others.

                      I’m not an expert on US gun laws but I understand that various states have different rules and even that gun carrying law varies between premises, concealed versus unconcealed carrying of guns etc. etc.

                      Anyone know the position in Florida and whether it is true that no one was able to return fire until the police arrived and whether this had a bearing on the number of fatalities and injuries?

                      Can’t imagine this happening in an area where “concealed carrying” was legal.

                How many killings carried out in the name of Islam does there have to be before the pair of you have at least one day off from being complete bellends, and accept that Muhammad’s instruction is the ONLY reason/cause for the endless atrocities carried out by good Muslims?? I know that for you, the white man (your own people for Christ sake!!) is the cause of all of the worlds problems and you’re so fanatical about ensuring victim hood status to everyone that isn’t white male, but we on this website are not responsible for the never ending cycle of violence and death in the name of Islam!

                It’s telling that the both of you still couldn’t say anything against Islam and your only thought was to attack your only enemy…us! Another 50 innocent lives taken. Another act where the evil ,sick bastard who carried it out says it’s for Islam, yet the lunatic left continue to blame them selves, the right, foreign policy….everything but the truth.

                Once again the left are the only ones who know how to deal with this. Only they know the answers. We are wrong. Trumps wrong. The Muslims carrying out the atrocities are wrong. Muslims living in Islamic state are wrong. Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, Hamas, Al Shabbab….they’re all wrong. The thousands (possibly millions) of western Muslims who not only believe everything that Islamic state stand for but celebrate terrorist atrocities carried out in the name of Islam like it was a World Cup game are wrong…

                The left are so self absorbed, so self righteous, so fucking delusional and detached from reality, that they are willing to appease/allow/encourage the islamification of their own country, because only those on the ‘right’ could ever pick out something bad about a different group of people! We must be doing something wrong, not Islam……

                These killings will never stop. Muhammad has ensured that his instructions can never change, and his instruction created Islamic state. His instruction authorise the Miami nightclub murders. In that sick bastards mind and those in Islamic state he is in paradise for being a true Muslim warrior. Undertaking jihad for the good of Islam.

                Islam will never accept you or your outlook on life and when that time comes the only people who will protect you are those you despise and have tried to fuck over you traitorous bastards!!

                  It’s looking increasingly like the killer acquired his assault rifle completely legally, despite being known to the FBI.

                  And yet only a few months ago, the Republican party prevented passage of a bill that was designed to stop suspected terrorists from getting easy access to guns.

                  But you carry on believing that the twisted ball of hate that is your sorry little self, and your simplistic whinging, have got a grasp on all the complexities at play.

                  I mean, this is Biased BBC, which doesn’t do complexity, honesty, or anything that doesn’t involve a hypocritical little halfwit trying to compensate for his own sense of crushing inadequacy. So I don’t expect you to do anything different other than to be a judgemental, incoherently ignorant wanker. But please, at least attempt to be marginally less stupid than taffman, Biased BBC’s resident lobotomised village idiot.

              On Facebook, as a personal global social network, I was sharing my sympathies with those hurt and families of those taken, along with many, other than those who had some places they did not wish to go and were simply seeking alternatives to vent.

              You and you colleagues seem to have headed straight here to a BBC-related forum just to vent along with them, and have at least found each other to share in whatever it is you come here to share together. And not a peep still about the tragic victims.

        It is interesting to contemplate, if the so-called prophet Mohammed was alive today, which of the Islamic State atrocities would he not approve of?

        As far as I can see, everything the Islamic State does is modelled on the so-called prophet’s actions:
        – Warfare and emphasis on conquering territory
        – taking of slaves and using woman and girls as slaves for sex
        – killing of enemies who refuse to convert to Islam
        – particularly cruel punishments
        – demands for Jizya from non-Muslims, sometimes called a tax, but more accurately it is a fee to buy limited safety, where the Muslims will not kill you if you pay it. I believe typically it is about 50% of income.
        – beheadings of captives

        As we know, actions of Mohammed are – by definition – actions of the Muslims perfect man and all Muslims are supposed to follow them. The so-called moderate Islam that many claim to follow is not really Islam of course, perhaps it should be called Islam-Lite?

            Grant, yes, I agree. It does make you wonder how anyone can entertain this as a belief system they feel they would like to follow.

            I would think the main factor is that children of course are raised as Muslims, and the very nature of Islam makes it hard for people to examine their beliefs and think for themselves. The whole emphasis is on learning – and aping – the actions of their prophet, questioning of his actions, or anything in the Koran, is essentially forbidden. Learning the Koran by rote is highly regarded by other Muslims, in the original Arabic only. As most Muslims don’t speak Arabic this strikes me as a particularly pointless exercise – but it is harmless enough in itself. Learning long passages in a language you don’t speak must take a lot of mental energy in itself, leaving little capacity to question what it means, strikes me as being a rather infantile endevour.

            As most people by now know, the penalty for someone who leaves Islam is death.

            I suspect this is quite a strong motivating factor against people questioning too openly any doubts they might feel!

            I think the attraction of Islam to the left, really demonstrates the child-like nature of their own belief system. They are attracted to the fact that Islam openly despises western civilisation, much as they do. Perhaps there is some admiration of what they see as ‘strength’ in the cult following rather like the cultish way they admire so many despots through history: Mao, Marx, Castro, Chavez etc.

            The left are basically very confused. To an extent they are intensely jealous of capitalism – which has raised large numbers of people out of poverty and into an age of wealth and health – in a way that their ideology will never do. Of course, they cannot admit this jealousy, so instead redirect their admiration to Islam – which also despise the west and understandably seems intensely jealous of other, more advanced religions.

            Grant – I think some of the problem revolves around the way the MSM and especially the BBC and similar organisations pussyfoots around Islam and is willing to put itself into absolute paroxysms not to offend Islam.
            This includes
            disingenuous reporting
            downright deceitful reporting
            Over sympathetic reporting
            vagueness with the facts if muslims are involved in a crime
            always trying to show Muslims in a positive light against the indigenous population
            general platforming of Islam and encouraging a sense of entitlement
            portraying anyone who objects to the above as WAYCISTS!

            I think this achieves two things it tacitly encourages followers of the “prophet “to believe they are particularly virtuous. And it also encourages a feeling of victimization. Any muslim who possesses any grandiose feelings of self importance and has suffered any slight in life could well be naturally attracted to any organisation which says it is defending Islam.

            These evil shits feel they are demonstrating their strength by hitting back and defending Islam and it is by this process they can justify any evil / depraved action as it is all for Allah and the end obviously justifies the means.

            I guess you will always find evil bastards in any society but I do believe the MSM bears particular responsibility as first step recruiting Sargent.

            I have always thought you can never deal with situations such as this unless you have absolute clarity about what you are dealing with. Unfortunately whilst the pc brigade rules in the media we will never be able to have an honest debate.

            Obviously the risk of offending a small percentage of the population is far more important the the lives of thousands of individuals.

    I could see from the outset of this report who the murderer was likely to be and yet even though his name is available in UK media, the BBC has made a decision to withhold this news from the public.

    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/06/12/florida-gay-nightclub-shooting-injuries-reported-at-pulse-orland/

But I’m pretty sure that by taxing our UK society so that even more than the present £12 billion could be given to the third world wouldn’t really work until the corrupt politicians, service chiefs, tribal leaders and police had so much money each that sheer embarrassment forced them to share it with their countrymen. It’s a great world the BBC luvvies and their dinner companions think they live in, populated by selfless peoples of all hues willing to sacrifice everything to give our betters the rosy glow of righteousness while dancing around the groves of money trees in their Earthly paradise.

    Found on Guido. Apologies if already mentioned.

    The Sunday Times has a great scoop: leaked cables reveal UK diplomats have discussed visa liberalisation for Turks coming to Britain, despite David Cameron’s pledge that “we won’t be offering visa-free access to Turks”. And there’s more…
    Guido has been passed the cache of diplomatic cables. The telegram below is marked “Official – sensitive” and was sent by British diplomats in Kosovo to the Foreign Office. It reveals the European Commission plotted to “slipstream” visa liberalisation for Kosovo “behind Turkey”, because “1.8 million Kosovars” are “a drop in that larger ocean” by comparison. A stunning admission of the huge scale of potential new immigration – and collusion to play down the impact…

    The cable also admits the obvious, that “some will… abuse the system”. Privately British diplomats are talking about 1.8 million Kosovars as a “drop in the ocean” compared to potential Turkish immigration. Yet they are planning visa-free access for Turks – and Dave wants you to believe this isn’t an issue in the referendum…

    Two questions from EU nationals out of 5. You can guess the topic.

    Overall I would say the Leave side of the audience were much more engaged.

    Interesting comment from the audience while we waited to see in any re-takes were required. “Why did Leave answer the question with no waffle while Remain wandered off and took a long while about it.

Well, I too would have been pretty disgusted, especially that this was in free view of children, and might have thought that a bucket of water or the light application of a baseball bat might have been appropriate – though not of course a killing, which is appalling.
